Guidance Summary

Exercise and weight management are the most effective OA interventions. Curcumin and boswellia have consistent anti-inflammatory evidence. Glucosamine evidence is mixed with structural benefit in some but not all trials.

Top Interventions

  • exercise (low-impact aerobic + resistance)
  • weight management
  • curcumin supplementation
  • boswellia serrata
  • glucosamine/chondroitin (evidence mixed)

Monitoring Priorities

  • pain scores (VAS or WOMAC)
  • joint function assessments
  • imaging for progression monitoring
